This 6th annual collection of Vegas stories spotlights a selection\u00a0of the city’s best writers, each exploring a common theme using their unique perspectives and styles. Produced in conjunction with the prestigious Vegas Valley Book Festival, it’s a must-have anthology for anyone curious about the city and what\u00a0really\u00a0<\/em>makes it tick.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This year they’re loosely based around the central concept of\u00a0a “lost-and-found” box and the random and disparate items that\u00a0might be found within.\u00a0It’s the perfect metaphor for Las Vegas, a metropolis with such singular energies, generated by the juxtaposition–and sometimes collision–of so many diverse and frenetic elements. In no other city is it\u00a0so easy to get lost, nor\u00a0so vital to be found.<\/div>\n
